libx264 does support both formats, without conversion.

Replying to Cigaes:

libx264 does support both formats, without conversion.

Since ffmpeg encodes in “yuv420p” when “yuv420p” or “nv12” or “nv21” is chosen, why let the possibility to encode in “nv12” or “nv21”?
It seems to be superfluous code.

comment:3 by Cigaes, 4 years ago

There is no code in FFmpeg, it is forwarded to the library. You can ask there, but I suspect they know better.

in reply to:  3 comment:4 by Kdmeizk, 4 years ago

Oh. So the meaning of “Supported pixel formats” is more “Supported input pixel formats” than “Supported output pixel formats”?

comment:5 by Cigaes, 4 years ago

It was explained to you that there is no “pixel format” as such in encoded bit streams.

comment:6 by Kdmeizk, 4 years ago

Yes. With this question, I try to check if “Supported pixel formats” could be renamed “Supported input pixel formats” or “Supported output pixel formats” to easier understand.
I looked in “x264-r2969-d4099dd.exe --fullhelp”:

                                  - i400, i420, i422, i444, rgb

“input-csp” better approaches “Supported pixel formats”, so it is in favour of “Supported input pixel formats”.
